About Exile Act, Republican Bill That Can End H-1B Visa Programme In US

A new bill introduced in the US Congress could potentially abolish the H-1B visa program, a key pathway for skilled foreign workers, particularly from India. This legislative effort aligns with President Donald Trump's broader anti-immigration agenda, which seeks to prioritize American jobs and enforce stricter immigration policies. The H-1B visa has long been a crucial avenue for technology companies and other industries in the US to recruit specialized talent from countries like India. Critics of the bill argue that ending the program would not only harm the US economy by limiting innovation and expertise but also adversely affect thousands of skilled Indian professionals who contribute significantly to various sectors. As discussions around the bill progress, stakeholders from both the business community and immigrant advocacy groups are expected to intensify their lobbying efforts to influence the outcome of this pivotal legislation.
